Courtyard (South)

[TESparky]

So you want it like that huh...

He dropped the empty clip from his 9mm, slidding the other in and cocked the gun. He got the empty clip up onto his foot and tossed it ontop of his jacket. At the same time he flipped the safety on the gun and tossed it up, allowing it to spin before catching it in his left hand and dropping it over his right shoulder to have it land in it's holster. He strapped it into the holster.

He stood there and looked at the man with the bat. His left hand came up infront of his face, palm toward him, revealing his ring to Ishimaru. The jewel glowwed and a dark aura spilled forth, landing on the ground infront of Pander. Dirge formed from the aura, his eighteen foot height and fourty foot length of beastial form snarling like the wolf demon he appeared to be. Dirge spoke to his great great grandson quite frankly.

I hope you know what you're doing. You over there, with the bat. Go away! Pander is fighting for love and it has nothing to do with you.

Dirge, although never good with people, was worse now that instead of having a human body he had that of a beast. His long teeth could easily destroy the bat in a single bite. He padded over to the man with the bat and let out a small smile, nudging the man's shoulder gently with the tip of his muzzle telling him to leave. Pander simply laughed at his great great grandfather's antics.

Pander brought out both of his rapiers with lightning speed. They flashed in the light emmited from his eye tattoos and then had that same flashyness sucked away by Pander's rose tattoo. He let the swords rest at his sides, slowly weaving their tips back and forth like sharks waiting for the kill.

Ya know, I don't know why you have to steal her from me. She made it clear to you before that she wants to be with me. I can tell by the way that you act. Well... Why let this wait any longer?...

He began to walk forwards, closing the gap between himself and Ishimaru. Dirge simply stayed infront of the man with the bat. He wanted Pander to have the most fun he could with this person who was trying to take Yume. As Pander walked, he could feel everything Jangen-sensei had ever taught him flowing from his mind to his body. Everything he did would feel like instinct and not knowledge. His body would act on it's own accord, increasing his reflex speed and presission.

Pander laughed like a mad man and the last few steps he took were a rushed run. He tossed himself into the air from ten feet away, both rapiers coming up like long steel fangs poised infront of him to pierce Ishimaru through the heart. Pander let out a roar his his body sped down towards his prey. Ishimaru would become a wall hanging if Pander had his way.  

[Kumizu]

Kumizu had traveled around the courtyard from the library and finally found something of interest: a fight. His cane tapped against the ground as he walked closer to the combatants, but he made no move to try and silence it. He didn't care whether he was seen or not. He didn't feel threatened by the weapons or the beast.

His anticipation dwindled as he listened to them talk. It was just another fight between two guys for a girl. Kumizu sighed. There were guns and swords, so it might be interesting.  

[Trinity Calimaster]

Trinity walked along briskly, she had been to the library, and now came here. She looked around and was drawn to the fountain, it was really nice, and easy to spot from a distance so... This was where she sat, looking around as though she was waiting, which she was. The water splashed and gurgled at her presence for a moment, before Trinity saw it and stood up, no more 'incidents' today... She moved far enough away from the fountain so that she wouldn't disrupt it, and then looked around, scanning the crowds.  

[Mia Eidenschink]

Yofiel thought for a moment, could she transform in to an animal? She did not know. "I don't know...I never really tried..." she shrugged. "Can you? that would be pretty cool if you could." she thought for a moment, if she could transform into an animal...which one?  

[EmoKidsRule808]

Ishimaru dodged the rapiers and back-flipped a few feet.

Finally. Your true potential. Dark side against dark side. No Hikari's to interfere.

He watched Yume start into convulsions. The potion was wearing off...He frowned and ran towards her and pressed his lips against hers. That should do it...

Ishimaru, what are you doing?

Had the kiss not worked? He brushed the thought off when Yume simply leaned against him comfortably. He quickly told her to wait and ran back to his fight. His two swords were still in his hands and ready to slice through anything. He took a swipe at Panders' body and jumped back and watched.  

[TESparky]

Pander parried the attack easily. Ishimaru had been sloppy with his last attack. He sighed, taking a lunging step forward and attacking with a downward swing with the rapier in his right hand. He pushed forward with his left hand, driving the rapier straight towards Ishimaru's stomach.

This is far from my true potential and far from my dark side. This is simply a touching, not a full take over. If you want a full take over, you would be fighting an idiot. He has no control with a sword and spends his time being a trigger happy fool.

This was as close to the truth as Pander could explain. To know his dark side is to see it first hand. But he was completely truthful when he said that his dark side was inadept with swords. He never had or ever would have control with a blade. Pander's dark side would probably cut himself pealing an orange.  

[Usagi_Tsukino]

Yugure walked from the libary to the court yard. She was wearing her cape. "I know this is not the right place but it would be better then inside," she sadi to herself as she pulled out a scroll. She ran one of her fingers over her fang. The finger started to bleed, she wiped it down the scroll as it started to glow. " I call on the god of water," she said as the scroll changed shape and dissapered. In its place was a water symbol, Yugure put her hand into the sign and she pulled out so water that formd around her hand. Then she started to do little tricks with it so she could she how good of a handly she had over the element.  

[Arimwen Fireax of Myrk]

Arimwen walked into the court yard with his staff in hand. He was going to test his skills as a fire mage. This seemed like a good place to show off. His mind was emptying and he began to make the moves.

He start just flowing his strikes threw and threw. The look was. Right foot step forward, left foot step forward, punch. Then ax kick jump staff press to ground flip over strike with fire. It looked amazing when he did it on his first try. Then he began going into a more difficult set of moves.

The new moves where in the form of this look. Staff strike ground, jump side right leg kicks with fire on foot. Then jumping front flip with double jump ax kick. Fire always on his feet. His heart beatting faster and faster as he was moving with such grace and power.  

[EmoKidsRule808]

Yume watched everything with horror. Someone was going to die in this fight. It was going to be Ishimaru. She foretold it. His attacks were sloppy and un-precise. He was better at dodging than attacking. Evasion. She saw the rapier heading towards his stomach.

Ishi! Watch out!

She jumped up and ran in front of him. As the rapier protruded from her skin, she looked up at him. At least he was okay. Hurting any of his vital organs would cause him to die. At least she was immortal. Anything done to her would be painful, but not life-threatening.

Yume...

Ishimaru looked at her blood on his hands. She had pushed the rapier out of her body but fallen from the pain. He caught her as she fell and supported her.

Always there for you.

Doushite?

I foretold your death, and...I couldn't let it happen.

She coughed up some blood and Ishimaru wiped it away from her mouth with his hand. She kept looking at him like these were her last moments, and she wasn't going to live any longer.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Just thinking about some stuff.

I can postpone the fight. Right now, you're more important.

He placed his hand on her stomach, near the wound and used some magic to stop the bleeding. He turned to Pander.

I'll deal with you later.  

[TESparky]

No.

He pulled his rapier free of Yume's body. His dark side was the only thing stopping his from breaking down into tears but it still showed. Tears rolled down his face as he pointed the bloody sword at ishimaru.

You deal with me now because once I kill you, your potion will wear off of her over time. Once that happens she will be free from your spell. You will die for what you did to her.

Pander took up the most agressive stance he could think of. His body moved low to the ground and stretched out. His arms were high, pointing the tips of his rapiers towards Ishimaru, the right lowwer and further forward than the one on the left. Both blades were parallel to the ground, neither quivering but hanging there as if frozen in time.  

[Riin Viern]

Vin let the dark haired girl's words pass him unheeded, she could have been talking to a wall for all he cared. Crimson eyes continued to gaze at the battle. Although he did not respond in speech, he did so in action. Sliding off the high branch of the tree, he landed gracefully beside the fight's prize - Yume. Gentled by two dark feathered wings which seemed to drink in all the light and reflect none, Vin's contact with the ground was barely audible. Such a leg-breaking action had been done so naturally, indicating he was used to it. Long dark violet hair swirled around his dexterous form, stirred up by the slight breeze caused by his dark flights. His poise was cocky, standing upon the terrain as if he owned it, the young demon called up into the heights of the tree.

"Lets go over there to watch, this place bugs me." came the cold tone of his voice, the regular rebel. Even without needing to say so pointedly, it was an easy guess as to what was pointedly bugging him. Apparently, Yume's harmless question for a tiny bit of socializing had irked him. With that said, he flexed his wings and took flight, hovering in the air for moments as if waiting. He did not seem bothered at all that as he waited, the fight came to the girl and the next moment was blood painted. Infact, his eyes glimmered malevolently. Pink tongue sliding out between his lips as if he could taste the smell of blood in the air.

There was a rustle as leaves of the tree whispered amongst themselves about the unfamiliar creature moving through them. The weaker leaves were shaken off their perches, falling in a swirling dance to the ground, carried by an unnatural wind. Along side the leaves, a white form slid out from the dense shadows of the tree's canopy. Landing with the same cat like grace and silence as the man before her.

It was a girl, a young girl with soft feathered wings of snowflake. Clad in hues of heaven with pallid skin and long lavender locks framing a delicate feminine face of mature emotionless, she was the epitome of purity. A gentle aura seemed to radiate from her, although warmth-less, it was serene. A princess of snow...? Or an angel...?

It was at this moment when one would then notice the lifeless crimson eyes, eyes which were the same as that of the darker demon hovering in the air beside her. Empty voids of blood red that did not shine even in the brightest and most holy light. Eyes that gazed through everything, but never at anything.

In another breath of wind, the slender form of the young female was beside that of the demon. Linking hands, she allowed Vin to lead her to another perch. They made an odd picture, each one contrasting the other so strongly.  

[EmoKidsRule808]

For what I did to her? You speared her with the bloody thing! The potion, will never wear off. I made sure of it. The antidote lies with me.

Ishimaru's eyes showed rage and hatred, but he seemed completely calm otherwise. He shifted Yume on his chest slightly and looked at Pander, getting up while doing so, Yume in his arms.

You'd rather her be in pain than me postponing the fight. I wonder now, how much you care for her. You don't know her like I do. You don't deserve her! The only reason we separated was because I had to go and fight for my village so that they wouldn't shun Yume out. You barely know anything about her! You don't deserve her at all!  

[Riin Viern]

Sensing blood in the air, she stopped her flight, hovering in the air. Her motion causing Vin to halt with her. She was sensitive to the presence of blood, and there was a large presence in the air, she could taste it in the air - an ability her brother always envied her for.

"There's blood." she said flatly to him, crimson eyes staring blankly at his countenance.

Blood? Vin thought, then realised what his younger sister wanted. He sighed, for a brief moment a gentle expression danced upon his face. It was obvious the demon had a soft spot for his beautiful sibbling.

"Alright..."

Came his reply in submission to her wishes. Gliding on the wind currents, he guided her towards Yume and Ishimaru, the source of her wishes.

((i'm going to pause here just in case i'm waaay behind the rp again and end up talking to air, i'm so slow >_>))  

[Riin Viern]

With a look of disintrest and cold eyes which rendered everything else inferior, Hanasuri Vin hovered higher in the air before the bloodied pair. His light colored sister beside him, in the shadow of his dark wings which circled her back protectively - aware of the threat just behind, Pander. Staring down upon them, literally, Vin declared the reason of his presence, the haughty tone ever present within his acid words.

"My sister wishes to heal her."

He truely didn't understand why she was always so mindful of others, if it were him, he would just barge in and heal the fool. If they weren't greateful, he could always undo the healing by ripping open the injuries again.

Hanasuri Rii stayed silently beside her brother in the air, her gaze wasn't even upon the two.  

[Arimwen Fireax of Myrk]

Arimwen stopped his pratice and watched as all of the craziness was going on around him. "I think I will go to the hot spring. It might be safer." He said picking up his staff out of the ground and walking off. "I might live longer where swords are not flying around."
